Bulbs - ugh. I could buy one locally for $14 or get 10 for $12 online.
In this case my value equation says buying local and not storing nine bulbs pointlessly for decades is worth a few bucks to me.

Ikea prob sold many millions of these. I saw many around and pics come up right away when searching 'halogen Ikea lamp.' Many search hits are labelled 'vintage' 😂
It's the telescopic Expressivo model. Mine's white like this pic. Got or had one yourself?
Many pics don't show the little adjuster stick. This black one shows it, but it likely breaks off for many owners.
I wouldn't be surprised if the halogen bulb emits in the UV somewhat, and degrades the plastic, helping it along.
